I have a form which I am adding a gradient to. However on this form I have aTableLayoutPanel (with controls) with the dock set to Fill. When it fills it covers up the form and the gradient on the form. Is it possible to make the TableLayout Panel and its controls colour clear or can you pass the same gradient color from the form to all the controls in the TableLAyout Panel (including the TableLAyoutPanel).
View 8 RepliesI have a form that has a toolbar and a status bar on it. After the form's InitializeComponent method is ran, I add a listview control to it and set the listview's dock property to fill. The listview is actually an overridden listview with an overridded constructor - that's why I don't just add the listview using the designer.
But the listview tucks itself up under the toolbar. It looks like the bottom of the listview respects the presence of the status bar. It's just the top of the listview that is giving me problems. So, any guesses as to what I may be doing wrong - why the listview tries to fill dock underneath the toolbar?
well i successfully docked a perpixel alpha form with the main form(form1). but the perpixel alpha form always appears at the top left corner of the screen and when i move the main form the form(perpixel alpha form) inside it dosen't move it stays at the top left corner. ALWAYS. to dock the perpixel alpha form i used
Me.toplevel = false
Me.parent = form1

i have form1 which has panels docked in its parent. the panel contains some graphics, texts and images for the mainform.So i would like to invoke/call another form which undergoes to form1. in form1, i set properties "ISmdiConainer=true"...and i have a button to call another form..under the button, i have put a code.
Dim MDIForm As New employee
MDIForm.MdiParent = Me
MDIForm.Show()
therefore, while the panel is docked to entire form, i can' able to see the employee form whenever i call it. unless i undock the panel, thats when its coming but when its docked, unable to see the calling form.I would like to see the callingform(employee form)when the panel is docked.

The project is quite large so I am no sure what the issue is. Is it due to the fact that I have an InitializeComponent() line in the my Sub New in Example 2? Note I have alot of code

View 1 RepliesI am using Visual Basic.NET 2008. I was earlier a VB 6 developer. I found a (VB 6) code online which generates gradient colours on a form. It has a small sub (routine) which does the trick. If we pass red, green and blue values then form's backcolour changes and it appears like a gradient.Now that code is not working in VB.NET.i mean is there an easier way to generate gradient colours in VB.NET (2008)convert the code I have into .net specific so form's backcolour becomes gradient.I have attached a zip file which contains the code.

This code changes the form's background to a gradient one. It works fine. Now I want this to take place in an MDI form which will be a container for other forms. If I turn option IsContainer = False then it works but otherwise it does now. How can I change backcolor of MDI Form to a gradient one ?

I am using a MDI form and child forms. Now I don't like the standard back colour of mdi form so I got code on the net which paints a gradient colour to the mdi. So far it is working okay.Now the problem is when I load a child form or close it or do a similar activity then it causes flicker in the mdi background. This gets pretty annoying at times and you see the background flicker.

I have a form that has a TableLayout Panel, 5 colums and 2 rows(GroupBoxes in one row and Exit Button in second row). Colums are set to 20%each and rows are 90% and 10%. I have dock set to Fill. I have 5Groupboxes, one in each column with about 20 buttons each, anchor is set to Top/Left. Buttons are all set Anchor Top/Left. What do I need to change to get the buttons to expand when the form is resized?
View 2 RepliesI have recently moved from developing in vb.NET 2008 to vb.NET 2010. There is a form in the application that uses an old Ascend Gradient Caption control to visually separate sections of the form. These controls are located on a tab control. The problem isthat the gradient captions seem to be unstable. They appear in odd locations on the tab pages at runtime, and I can't seem to select them in the designer. I can choose them from the combo box on the property page and edit the properties, but they stillbehave erratically. I understand that these are older controls and was wondering if anyone has had this problem and/or could recommend an alternative control

View 5 RepliesI have a borderless form that I'm "docking" onto the top edge of my screen. Inside of the form, I'm placing a single toolstrip control, which docks across the entire form -> (picture the taskbar to get an idea of what I'm talking about).Because the borderless form has no edge to it, I wanted to draw a black line along the bottom edg` of the form to differentiate the form from the windows or desktop behind it.
The problem that I'm facing is that`the toolstrip will not move "behind" the line when it's docked, no matter how I order the control layers.
I've tried programatically sending the control to back to no avail either.
Any ideas on how to get the line to show above the docked toolstrip?
I'm having a few problems with the layout of my new browser. I have a WebBrowser control which is docked 'Fill', and a MenuBar at the top docked 'Top'. When I run the program and go to Google (which has a dark bar at the top), a white gap becomes visible. I think that this is because the MenuBar's RenderMode is set to 'System'. When I click on it in the editor the bottom of the background is a few pixels away from the MenuBar's bounding square.Also, the MenuBar's RenderMode has to be set to System other wise the control is drawn as a rounded-rectangle and there are gaps in the background image in the corners. That said, I could change it, if someone could provide a solution to showing the background image in another control and set the MenuBar's background to transparent.
